The odds of it happening are so far off the chart that it could not have happened. Throw in the variability of making those connections over time and the odds are so far off the chart that this discussion becomes laughable!
The chance of two molecules settling in a position to start the formation of a rock is incredibly unlikely. Then the other molecules also settling just correctly to form the rest of the rock is astronomically unlikely.
However, it happens.
